📋 About This Mod
This is an utility mod, it mixes "Play Random Idle SE" and "Pretty Female Idles SSE", specifically n. 8 and n. 9, which, in my opinion are the two most feminine ones and it loops them (alternating them) when your character idles.
Initial release.
Fixed a missing animation which sometimes caused an unwanted T-Pose.
Minor Bug Fixes. Video Added.
Install it with any mod manager.
You will not need to install neither "Pretty Female Idles" nor "True Player Idling" since these two mods are included here and I made them work together nicely. I made this mod since "Play random Idle SE" is made in such way that you need 20 different animations to have a complete loop but I
only wanted these two in particular. So I had to take the two animations and copy them 18 times in the right folder in order not to break the script. I take absolutely no credits into making these fantastic animations, nor the script to alternate them.
Remember to run FNIS

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 454 endorsements and over 8,400 downloads—clearly a popular pick for idle animation fans.
- Solves the 'Play Random Idle SE' requirement of 20 animations by cleverly copying the two chosen animations to complete the loop, so you get exactly what you want.
- Includes the necessary dependencies, so you don't have to juggle multiple mods—just install and run FNIS.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in April 2019—might not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim SE updates or newer animation frameworks.
- Requires FNIS to run, which can be a hassle if you're not already using it or if you prefer newer tools like Nemesis.
- Only includes two specific animations—if you want more variety, this mod isn't for you.
For Skyrim SE players who want their female character to have a more feminine idle animation without the hassle of setting up multiple mods. If you're a fan of the specific animations from 'Pretty Female Idles' and want them looped seamlessly, this is a solid pick. Skip if you want a wider variety of idle animations or if you're not willing to run FNIS.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to run FNIS after installing this mod, or the animations won't work and you might see T-poses.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and install—no manual file placement needed.
- This mod replaces your default idle animations, so if you have other idle mods, they might conflict—check your load order.
